Yes, the Picomotors can be controlled either through an RS-232 or a GPIB interface using the Model 8732 driver. (LabVIEW programs are available for the Model #8732. Please contact Technical Support for more information.) There are only two necessary instructions: the direction and the number of “steps” to take. Alternatively, you could use a Model 8620 control pad to control the driver. The Model 8701 and 8801 drivers can be controlled by the manual control pad, or through either analog or digital TTL-level signals.
